I like the way this guy works......

A security audit of a US critical infrastructure company last year revealed that its star developer had outsourced his own job to a Chinese subcontractor and was spending all his work time playing around on the internet.

In his performance assessments by the firm's human resources department, he was the firm's top coder for many quarters and was considered expert in C, C++, Perl, Java, Ruby, PHP, and Python.

I'm wondering this too.

My guess is, he generally knew what was going on enough to be able to write a report to management everyday. I can't imagine, or maybe i can, that he just fed the contractors work withough reviewing it first and looking at the result. Guess we'll never know!

If he was a genius he wouldn't have gotten caught.

I'm guessing some guy in China is now making a lot more money than he was before. I am assuming the company has at least one intelligent person in HR.

That is pretty dang clever... But then again why did Bob think that there would be no security audits of internet traffic?

Additionally he probably ruined a lot of cushy jobs for high dollar employees because now some tightwad manager will see how successful he was with his cheap team of quality guys.

I am sure he will end up in a cushy job as an IT Manager or Director in charge of outsourcing.

I hate slackers but I hate the current job market and how most of the companies are taking advantage of their employees even more, so, good for him!

He could at least have allowed Zhao Chui to remote into a PC on his own network which had VPN access.
